Khai Luk Koei (Son-In-Law Eggs) image

Once upon a time in Thailand, a Son-in-Law wanted to impress his mother-in-law, so he created these eggs. These Deep-Fried, Hard-boiled eggs sauced with an almost saffron-colored combination are absolutely unique, Wonderful to taste, and perfectly beautiful on a plate. Be careful when frying them. Use a splatter screen to avoid the hot oil that sputters up when the eggs are added, and a metal spatula and wooden chopsticks to turn them in the oil-they have a tendency to stick. This recipe is from the book The Best of Thailand.
